Very cool! This is an insanely impressive sensor, but the proposed application is still in dream phase. > Going forward, the research team plans to continue enlarging the vocabulary of the device through machine learning and to test it in people with speech disorders. They haven’t tried giving it to a person with a voice disorder. So it just might not work in that application at all. That will likely depend on the degree to which laryngeal muscles are implicated in a given person’s disorder. That’s certainly a valid starting place for research purposes, but it’s very early days. And I imagine you’ll need some very interesting cabling attached to a somewhat beefy device to actually run live inference from this data, plus to drive the speech synthesis.
